Set aside the game controllers and smart phones, come with a guide from Pocono Heritage Land Trust (PHLT) and enjoy a walk in the unique Tannersville Cranberry Bog. The Fernridge Trail is a single loop trail that is ideal for introducing young and, not so young, family members to the joy of an autumn walk in the woods. The trail rises through an open oak forest. As the path flattens out along the top of the ridge, chestnut oaks grow in abundance. The path follows an old road and eventually proceeds down a slight hill to run along the edge of the bog. River otters, deer, and bears inhabit this area. Young explorers can find evidence of their passing by examining the foot prints in the thick ooze of the bog.

Bog walks can be wet and muddy. Wear boots or sturdy shoes. No strollers. Rain or shine.
